The Manifest Destiny of Whiggy Tease? More Polk swag!


We here at Whiggy Tease want to give you, our beloved customers, what you want. We also want to give you what your children want. Turns out, your kids want James K. Polk swag.

Who knew?

Not us, at least not right away. But we know now.

How popular was our initial line of James K. Polk stuff? So popular that there are kids who are planning on wearing their Polk stuff on the first day of kindergarten. This is very much true. It’s the most important day of their young life, and they want to dress in Whiggy Tease’s Polk clothing.

This Polk line is money. Well, actually the newly expanded James K. Polk line is money…

Yes, James K. Polk has his own dollar coin this year. We love the gold dollar coins with the Presidents, your kids love James K. Polk – this is clearly a match made in heaven. Visit the Polk store for all the new items. Here’s just a small sample of what you’ll find there:

The Polk baby one-piece…

The Polk yellow shirt…

Now, what if your kid has one of the old Polk shirts and you think it would be silly to get him or her another one?

Well, you can get your kid a Polk button…

Or, imagine this. Your kid has a birthday party coming up, and you’re not sure what to put in the goody bag. Well, the Polk button comes in packs of 10 or even 100. Send all the kids home with Polk buttons.

Your kid will be learning to tell time soon, right? Or maybe he already knows to tell time. Well, he needs a clock…

Yes, James K. Polk can teach your child how to tell time. We bet he can do it in just one term.

But wait, there’s more.
That’s right. It’s the James K. Polk Dollar Coin Christmas Tree Ornament.
Operators are standing by.

The Napoleon of the South vs. Sarah Palin

Prior to the launch of Whiggy Tease, we assumed the most popular item in our store would be one of the Sarah Palin products. It appeals to right-wing Republicans and shoe fetishists. We figured this one item would be the one that would make us rich.

Now, while the Palin swag is selling, you know which politician is outselling her?



That’s right. James K. Polk.

We also have this smaller design available in the James K. Polk store.



Why is the Polk stuff so popular? We’re certain it has to be due to They Might Be Giants and their song about our 11th President. You’ve heard it before if you’ve ever listened to NPR on Presidents Day.
